Question and Answer (a game)

When you move away from Upstate NY.

Why not go somewhere warm?

All you need to do is convince my wife...

Exactly what wind are you referring to? There are global winds, such as the wind belts which exist between the atmospheric circulation cells. There are upper-level winds which typically include narrow belts of concentrated flow called jet streams. There are synoptic-scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features, such as the sea breezes on coastlines or canyon breezes near mountains. Mesoscale winds are those which act on a local scale, such as gust fronts. At the smallest scale are the microscale winds, which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of meters and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.

Forces which drive wind or affect it are the pressure gradient force, the Coriolis force, buoyancy forces, and friction forces. When a difference in pressure exists between two adjacent air masses, the air tends to flow from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure. On a rotating planet, flows will be acted upon by the Coriolis force, in regions sufficiently far from the equator and sufficiently high above the surface.

Do you know what the Coriolis force is?

No

Is that from the Planets of the Apes?

 

[tingtong]

Yes,

And it goes in Pina Coladas, right?

 

[pwscottiv]

Yes,

And it goes in Pina Coladas, right?

Yes, and it's what makes the water in your toilet bowl swirl the same direction every time.

Do you know which direction water spins in the northern hemisphere?

 

[Mr. Hat]

Yes. :mooner:

Why does Mr Garrison always have his hand up my ass?

 

[tingtong]

Because you're a meat puppet.

Where do bad people go when they die?

 

[Koreanfrogger]

They go to the bad lands.

Will Clintin win the elections?

No

Will Gore save the world?

 

[tingtong]

Gore-Tex will save your dryness...

Why doesn't anything rhyme with orange?

 

[dwardtxusa]

Orange you glad you did't have to answer the wind question?
Orange only rhymes in the knock knock jokes. And the water swirls clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

What was your first car?

 

[ohmdiver]

a piece of crap...

Who will convince my wife to mopve to warmer climates?
